Abstract
The law of the sea, as it has developed through the
centuries, is "best characterized, not as a mere static "body
of absolute prescriptions, hut more appropriately as a living,
growing system of customary law, the roots of which
are grounded in the claims, practices and sanctioning expectations
of individual states. The regime governing the
seas is, therefore, highly changeable,, being subject to
constant shifts in the demands and expectations of states
as affected by the imperatives of developing social,
economic, technological and other interests and conditions.
